Chapter Fourteen
Miley's POV 6
_
Continued from last part...
Miley was speechless. Nick was staring into her eyes and telling her he liked her the way she was. He didnt want her to change. And he was touching her, the lightest caress on the back of her hand that was laying palm down on her lap.
He suddenly put an inch or so between them giving Miley her breath back. "How about a movie?"
Miley shrugged still speechless. "You don't have any place to be?"
"What do you mean? I'm here."
"Well...the old Nick would be rushing off somewhere."
Nick looked back over at Miley for a moment then turned back to the tv to see what was on.
"Oh no." She took the remote out of his hand. "What was that look for?"
Nick reached for the remote but Miley removed it from his reach. "What look?"
"You know what look, Nick. Don't play with me. Why'd you look like that?"
Nick sighed. "It's just that I'm...learning a lot of stuff out about our...relationship that you didn't like."
"Oh." Miley shrugged handing him the remote back. "Well, every relationship has stuff that went wrong."
"You're right."
"I always am."
"Are not."
"Am, too."
"Are not."
"Am, to-" Miley glanced toward the television to see something that she didn't want to see: Nick on the TV with some girl. She snatched the remote and turned up the volume.
"Things are heating up between Nick Jonas and his Les Mis costar Samantha Barks. The other day we caught these candids of Nick with the young twenty year old actress."
Nick sighed and tried to take the remote. "Miley-"
"Shhh..." She returned her gaze back to the television.
"Nick Jonas is reportedly DATING the sweet English beauty according to sources close to the couple."
Miley laughed finding humor in the whole thing.
Nick looked at Miley in surprise. "What's so funny?"
"They're such suck ups when they're telling everyones business." Miley leaned back laying the back of her head on the rear of the couch. "Sweet English beauty." Miley said mocking them. "This is what's wrong with the news system-"
"Miley, don't you want to ask me if I'm dating her?" Nick interrupted her rant.
Miley let out a slow breath then leaned forward so she was looking at Nick directly. "Nick, I'm your friend. I know you know that. You'll...tell me when you're ready." She said simply. Then she sat back again. "And when that time comes, I'll be listening."
"Are you listening now?"
"Always." She forced an understanding smile on her face.
"We aren't friends."
Miley's face instantly fell and she could feel tears about to follow. She sat back, averting her gaze. "Oh."
"Miley, I love you. I can't be...just friends with you. It's… weird."
Miley looked over at him, the pain in her chest slowly easing with his words. "You love me?"
"Of course I do and you're my best friend but...I can't do it anymore. I want to do things with you that...friends just don't do with each other." Nick said moving closer.
"Things? Watch it purity ring boy, I don't do things." Miley smiled jokingly.
Nick laughed and crushed his lips to Mileys, bringing his hand to her cheek to cup it softly as he slowly moved his lips along hers.
After a moment, Miley pulled away. "Alllllright."
Nick let go of Miley and set with his back against the couch. "Okay." Then he turned his head to stare at Miley again who was definitely at a loss for words.
Before either of them knew it, Selena burst through the door crying heading straight for Miley.
Miley hurriedly stood and caught Selena in a tight hug.
